When Kings Bleed

Javon Kade was a king on the block-feared, respected, and hunted.
One bad deal and three bullets ended his reign.
But death was not the end.
He wakes in Astraea, a brutal fantasy world ruled by bloodlines, magic, and chains, reborn as a slave in an empire that believes power is inherited, not earned. The streets may be gone-but the hierarchy remains. Kings still rule. And the powerless still bleed.
Javon carries something no one else in Astraea does:
a soul forged by survival, violence, and loss.
As forbidden fire awakens inside him, he draws the attention of gods, empires, and a mysterious runaway sorceress named Alyra Noctyne-a girl who can see past lives and knows Javon is not of this world. Together, they uncover a truth that could shatter every throne in Astraea:
kings are not chosen by blood... they are chosen by fire.
To free the enslaved, defy the heavens, and rewrite his destiny, Javon must decide what kind of ruler he will become-because in a world built on crowns and cruelty, even kings can fall.
And when kings bleed...
the world changes.
